History

The name is derived from the French for the Linden (Limetree)(fr: tilleul) and the Ash(fr: frêne) and reference to the village (as Fresnum) is mentioned in 1207. Tilloloy was also noted in 1373 as Thillolay^[5]
Thilloloy and Fresnes were joined as one commune sometime between 1790 and 1794 as the commune of Fresnes-Tilloloy.'^[3]

Traces of Gallo-Roman settlement have been found in the area, and the Roman road (the "chaussée de Brunehaut" is nearby^[6]

In 1346, Edward III, spent some time here^[7]

The commune was occupied from 17 February to 9 March 1871 by the Germans during the Franco-Prussian War.
